2 EisnerAmper LLP 2015 Lincoln Hwy. P.O. Box 988 Edison, NJ T: F: June 3, Tom Brennan OWASP Foundation, Board Member Director, Trustwave SpiderLabs 9175 Guilford Road, Suite #300 Columbia, MD Dear Tom: Every day, you strive to deliver your best and exceed expectations, especially as a Board Member of a highly specialized non-profit organization. We know you expect the same from your service providers. We understand that, as you consider the possibility of hiring an accounting firm to do specialized tax work, you are looking for professionals who understand your organization and the challenges you face. We understand that OWASP has professional chapters in 70 different locations around the world. OWASP holds conferences through these professional chapters all over the world and would like tax advisory and compliance services regarding their specific activities in various foreign jurisdictions. In addition, you will find seamless international tax and consulting services at EisnerAmper, through our global affiliate network, PKF International, a network of 245 legally independent accounting and consulting partners locate in 125 countries. As we have done with Clients in the past, EisnerAmper can serve as your US technical tax/accounting advisor and also as your global project coordinator for OWASP s international (non-profit) business activities. By conducting business all over the world, OWASP may be subject to indirect taxes, such as the Value Added Tax ( VAT ) or its equivalent in most non-us jurisdictions. Any business buying, selling, investing or employing staff in one or more countries is confronted with indirect taxes. Globally, governments are increasingly imposing indirect taxes: sales taxes, general services tax, business tax, VAT, customs duties, energy taxes, environmental taxes, excises etc. We have a global affiliate network of indirect tax professionals focusing on VAT mitigation (refund procedures), compliance, and registration. We will coordinate with our VAT specialists to provide OWASP with unified solutions for its VAT issues and queries. Pursuant to our discussion, we looked through your informative website and the 2009 Form 990, and have some preliminary general US tax observations. Regarding Part VI, question 12a: the organization should draft a conflict of interest (COI) policy. Regarding Part VI, question 12b: officers, directors or trustees, and key employees should be required to disclose annually interests that could give rise to
3 conflicts. Regarding Part VI, question 12c: ideally, this question generally should be answered yes. This can be done through giving the officers, directors or trustees and key employees COI statements every year to be filled out and having a compliance officer review it. Regarding Part VI, question 13: The organization should draft a written whistleblower policy to comply with best practices. EisnerAmper can assist with addressing the above items and also suggest other value added opportunities that may be present upon further review of additional information. We believe there are distinct benefits in working with EisnerAmper as your global tax advisors and international consultants. In the following pages, we are confident you will see that our firm has the experience and level of service that OWASP desires. We would be happy to speak with you in more detail about the information contained in this proposal. Thank you for this opportunity, and we look forward to working with you. Very truly yours, EisnerAmper LLP Jim Alajbegu, CPA Partner jim.alajbegu@eisneramper.com (office) (cell) Adnan Islam, Esq., MBA, LL.M., CPA Senior Manager adnan.islam@eisneramper.com (office) (cell)
